Fall Colors Include Pink Around Here

While New England has the beautiful red and gold maple trees each fall we go a different direction.

We have pink.

I’m OK with the trade off.

Cormorant Season

Technically that may or may not be true.

I tend to see many more Double-crested Cormorant in the fall and winter. I think some move a little inland to the marshes.

And of course it’s always nice to have a little ‘pink’ in a photograph.

An image I’m not sure I have published, it may have been forgotten.

This is it looks like when you and a Spoonbill are in the same thick palms.

No human or birds were harmed during this photograph…we did get surprised though.

Spoonbill Surprise

October 29, 2019 Ted Jennings - TPJ Photography 2 Comments

I knew there were Spoonbills on the other side of the tall reeds. Just no way to even poke a lens through…safely.

As I tried for an open spot they all jumped in the air. This is it, the only shot after walking the whole dike.

Spoonbill, Cat Island

There was no way to get any closer to a group of Roseate Spoonbills we spotted. This one sat and watched us but was feeling comfortable we were far enough away.

Cat Island is part of the Yawkey Wildlife Center, a ‘very’ protected conservation area. By invitation (Dept. Natural Resources) and small boat access only.
